Remarried. Natalie Wood, 34, most durable of sylphs (Splendor in the Grass, Bob & Carol & Ted & Alice); and Robert Wagner, 42, star of TV's It Takes a Thief; aboard a rented boat off Paradise Cove, Calif. Billed as Hollywood's happiest lovers when they first married in 1957 (she was 19 and he 27), they were divorced four years later, each to try another spouse--she, Producer Richard (Downhill Racer) Gregson, and he, Actress-Starlet Marion Marshall. Both those marriages ended in divorce.

Died. George Maxwell Bell, 59, Calgary oil financier and chairman of P.P. Publications Ltd., Canada's largest newspaper chain; following surgery for a brain tumor; in Montreal. Bell bailed out his father's debt-ridden Calgary Albertan by borrowing from friends, then went on to build a multimillion dollar fortune through shrewd oil investments and by picking up other newspaper properties. In 1959, he and Winnipeg Free Press Publisher Victor Sifton joined forces to form the nine-paper P.P. chain. "The good Lord put me in the right place at the right time with the right friends," he once said, "and I'm happy to say we all made money."

Died. Dr. William T. Pecora, 59, Under Secretary of the U.S. Department of the Interior; following abdominal surgery; in Washington, D.C.

A geologist by training, he was frequently called to testify before congressional committees on ecological issues, and in 1970 won the applause of conservationists for his part in delaying and modifying plans for the Trans-Alaska Pipeline.

Died. Friedrich Flick, 89, West Germany's most powerful industrialist; of a kidney malfunction; in Constance, West Germany. As head of prewar Germany's biggest coal-and-steel conglomerate, Flick was a major supplier of German armaments during World War II. Though 80% of his holdings were confiscated and Flick served a five-year sentence after the war, he emerged from prison in 1950 and quietly began again. Within two decades he acquired control over more than 200 paper, steel, chemical and automobile companies, including 40% of Daimler-Benz. At his death, he was reputedly West Germany's wealthiest citizen.
